How do I generate bar code in VB 1

[monchet]

I need to convert numbers say 95131 to a bar code for printing. Is there a direct way in VB 6. I am new to VB and your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am uncertain, but I know it would require graphics, there is a fellow on the forum, who sells Bar Code fonts for 45$, and also can get you in touch with what type of BarCode readers you need. I dont know the pattern off the top of my head. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

You need a barcode font or object.&nbsp;&nbsp;These must be specifically purchased, there are no 'default' barcodes that ship with windows.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, depending on the author of the font or object, you write to it as you would a textbox, using a .value property or whatever the author calls it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then instead of numbers or letters, you get bars.&nbsp;&nbsp;You'll also need to know what symbology you need, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;There's a bit more to it than just bars...<br>--Jim
